Aeroexpress became the venue for the Total Dictation for the first time
Apr 10, 2021
On April 10, the Total Dictation was held for the first time in the Aeroexpress moving from Savelovsky Station to Sheremetyevo.
The event took place on the 2nd floor of the train in a business class carriage at full speed. 40 participants were able to test their literacy by pre-registration.
The text of the dictation was read by actress, singer and public figure Anastasia Denisova.
The participants of the Total Dictation wrote "Promises" - a story by Dmitry Glukhovsky, which became the basis for a short film. The text is dedicated to the eternal values of family, human destiny, and the continuity of generations.
The Total Dictation is an annual event for everyone, regardless of age, nationality, level of education and social status. It shows that being literate is important for everyone, that studying Russian is not easy, but it is exciting and useful; it unites everyone who can or wants to write and speak Russian. Over the past 18 years, the campaign has acquired a global scale: it is organized by the Total Dictation Foundation, and implemented by activists and volunteers in different parts of the world.
